Wow! Naki'o is thoroughly enjoying his new freedom, that he can run and chase and do all other fun dog things. His expression of joy says it all. So tragic that he lost his paws from frostbite due to horribly neglectful previous owners. Never heard of a dog without paws. Thanks subby for sharing this great story.

Kudos to owner of Orthopets Martin Kaufmann for giving Naki'o front prosthetics for free! (minor edit of what jaa typed above). Heart of champion, typed above by picturescrazy, came with original version.Saw header en route to Caturday (where all critters cept spiders, scorpions & derogatory trolls are welcome) & couldn't resist. 10 cats, all indoor (all but 3 started out as feral) let us live with them.Good for Shadow Blasko, requesting us to engage imagination to see desired .jpg in our minds, a la Stan Freberg of honoured & luckily still viable memory (all the Radio Stuff he did, like draining Lake Michigan & refilling with hot chocolate, dropping 50' tall mound of whipped cream & maraschino cherry the size of an 18-wheeler atop).
